February 22nd, the weekend, the weather was fine

I don't have to go to school today, Wang Lanling went to the department to sit down for a while to deal with some official business, and then went out to buy wine and drink.

Usually very restrained, after all, it is the time of the long body, Wang Lanling will only drink a little on the weekend.

There has been nothing going on recently, the world is peaceful, and life is very nourishing.

"Boss, come on, fill me up." Wang Lanling handed over the bottle of wine that had been used for a month.

This glass bottle can be used as a family heirloom, it is a large soy sauce bottle, longer than a two-liter Coke bottle, with a thinner top, which is perfect for pouring on the head.

The owner of the wine shop is Du Sheng's father, and after seeing Wang Lanling coming, he quickly greeted enthusiastically: "Please come in, big official!" Official, please sit down, old woman, quickly get something to eat and come out to greet the official. ”

Boss Du took the wine bottle, and after beckoning Wang Lanling to sit down next to the table, he smiled and went to the wine jar on the side to drink in person.

The bamboo spoon used for wine is in the shape of a bamboo tube and a long bamboo link, which looks easy to break, but in the hands of the boss, it looks familiar.

The boss stuffed a wine basket into the bottle and poured wine into it with a bamboo scoop.

The proprietress was not at home, Du Sheng's sister came out with a bowl of melon seeds, and another little sister came out with a bowl of fried beans, and put things on the table in front of Wang Lanling very obediently.

Wang Lanling looked at the boss who was drinking, stood up and said, "Where did you buy this funnel?" It looks so good that I want to buy one too. ”

Although Wang Lanling doesn't cook at all, let alone use this funnel, he likes it, and he likes it, and he looks like it.

Boss Du said: "This is bought in Liu's shop, and Old Man Liu's family is doing this, for decades, usually making wooden barrels and basins, and also making some tables and stools and the like." ”

Wang Lanling didn't know where it was, so he said: "I don't know the road, where is it?" ”

When Boss Du heard this, he said to the two daughters who were still standing in the shop: "Dafang, you go and go with the officials." ”

Da Fang is a slightly older girl, and the smaller one is not Xiao Fang, but Er Fang.

Of course, Da Fang had no opinion, so he took Wang Lanling and walked out.

Wang Lanling followed with a wine bottle, and the wine cost was five cents, which was not expensive.

The biggest consumption is cigarette money, but Wang Lanling doesn't smoke, so he doesn't care.

After walking for five or six minutes, the two came to an old shop on the side of the street.

The shop is a small second floor, covering four rooms, and there are a lot of wooden supplies in front of the door and in the shop, with barrels and tubs, as well as beds and large baths, which are already the size of a specialty store.

Judging from the shop, the family is richer than the wine seller.

Lord Xiao Wang is wearing an official uniform, this world is so dangerous, if you don't wear this layer of clothes, you can't enjoy super-national treatment.

Old man Liu, who was working, felt that the lively streets around him were much quieter, and when he looked up, he saw the young man walking towards him.

Old man Liu quickly stood up and wiped his hands on the clothes on his body, "It's Wang Daguan, right?" What are the instructions for coming to Xiao Lao'er? ”

Wang Lanling looked around and felt that there were a lot of interesting things here.

"Buy something, I don't know if you sold that recliner at my house." Wang Lanling thought of his own recliner, because Zhao Wenrou and Lei A bought it, and he didn't know where to buy it.

Old man Liu followed Wang Lanling and said, "It shouldn't be that I sell it here, I haven't sold recliners recently." ”

Wang Lanling looked at the finished wood pieces placed outside the shop, and there were some semi-finished products and materials and other woods.

After seeing a willow branch, Wang Lanling bent down to pick it up.

It was a long stick one meter two long and the width of a coin, and the ends had been cut off, but there was a fork with willow buds in the middle.

Wang Lanling was very happy, this was a very ordinary willow branch, but Wang Lanling, who picked up this small branch, felt very happy.

"You don't need money for this, do you?" Wang Lanling lifted the branch, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and decided to take it home and put it away.

Old man Liu quickly said: "Don't want money, don't want money, big official, what else do you need?" ”

"I want a wine spill." Dafang didn't understand Xiao Wang's happiness, she thought that Xiao Wang came over to buy wine.

Hearing Da Fang's words, Old Man Liu shouted into the house, and soon a mother-in-law came over with a polished funnel.

Wang Lanling felt that the little stick in his hand was very handsome, but as for the funnel or something, it was not so important.

However, I felt that just buying one was a bit too little, Wang Lanling looked around, and quickly used the branch in his hand to light on a four-legged large bathtub.

"Well, it's a good place to take a shower in the summer."

Old man Liu said embarrassedly: "This is a manger......"

The horse trough is a groove for horses to eat, and the forage is generally higher to prevent it from being eaten by other animals.

Wang Lanling said expressionlessly: "Of course I know that this is a manger!" I'm talking about the one over there! Do you understand, or do I understand?! I know carpenters better than you do! ”

Old man Liu quickly bent down to apologize, "Yes, yes! It's the little old man who is confused, and the little old man misunderstands the meaning of the adult! Please accept this wooden basin, no money, no money! ”

Old man Liu pointed to the other side of Wang Lanling's stick, took down a wooden basin that was placed on the cabinet and put it on the ground outside.

Guide to the North ......

Lord Xiao Wang felt that a wooden basin was worthless, so he continued: "Well, if you don't need money, you don't need money, and the rest can be as much as you want, you make me a long bucket of one meter and five high, one meter wide, which can stand people inside, and can boil water underneath." ”

When Old Man Liu heard this request, he said, "This ...... It's okay to do this, just find a piece of iron, but I don't know what adults want to do with it? The little old man also has a score in his heart. ”

Wang Lanling said: "Of course it's a bath, people are standing inside, and a tripod is set up below to burn the fire and take a bath." ”

Old man Liu's eyes widened, "Won't this burn out?" ”

"Isn't that the end of the plank? The brain is not flexible at all! Wang Lanling reprimanded the old man who always raised the bar.

Old man Liu thought for a while and said, "Since it's a bath, wouldn't it be better to use the bath pot directly?" Boil water below, and sit on the turtle board in the stove pot on top, so that you can't touch the fireworks. ”

How can you lift the bar so well?

Can't I just have a little fun?!!

"Old man Liu, the official said one, you have to say two, you offended the official, the dung of more than ten people in your family, don't think about going out!! I'm going to keep you going for half a year! ”

Old man Liu was anxious, and quickly said: "The big officials are angry!" It's the little old man who is too talkative, it's the little old man's fault, what you say is what, the little old man will definitely not talk too much anymore! ”

Wang Lanling didn't like it here, so he walked out directly with a funnel and a stick and a wine bottle.

"You are a shabby shop, and this official is not uncommon."

Dafang also ran out.

Not long after Lord Xiao Wang left, a middle-aged man walked out and was angry: "This dog official! It's too much of a deception! ”

When Old Man Liu heard his son's words, he directly took a wooden stick in his hand and whipped it at the man in his thirties.

"You unfilial son! After learning a little kung fu, I feel that I am amazing, and I feel that I am better than others all day long! Usually forget about you, that one is an official, if you want to die, don't affect our family! ”

After the man was beaten, his face was unhappy, and his eyes became more fierce.

When Old Man Liu saw his son's expression, he knew that this cub had a grudge against the person who was an official.

"If you recognize me as a father, and still care about your mother-in-law and boy, don't go out at home honestly, otherwise I will ......"

Old man Liu was about to continue to reprimand his son, when he suddenly remembered that this was still the street.

He was shocked in his heart, and felt that the world in his ears was quiet, and in broad daylight, there was a sense of fear as if he was in a different world.

Heishui County is not a small county, but Wang Lanling thinks it is a small broken place, but it is a big city with all kinds of organs and departments.

Young people don't understand, but some old people are well aware of the history of this place, especially the big things that have decided the peaceful scene a few times.

Old man Liu looked at his son who was unconvinced and had a complaint in his heart, and sighed.

"Let your mother cook some good food tonight, let's eat some wine, and serve in a few days, it's up to you."

When the man heard this, he said suddenly, "Dad! Didn't we say that? This year, I will spend money on labor to find someone else, and I will be busy with the affairs of the store, helping you, where will I have time to do labor. ”

In addition to growing grain and paying taxes, the people of the world also need to serve.

Some are military service, some are hard labor.

There are many kinds of labor, from quarrying and digging canals, to dealing with plagues, building railways on frontiers, fighting floods and fires, and so on.

The labor in Heishui County is mainly quarrying and digging ditches, and one family has to send one person out to work every year, and basically they come back tired and half dead, and some can't come back.

Old man Liu didn't say anything, and when he came back from labor, he knew how powerful the clothes were.

Old man Liu regretted letting his son learn martial arts.

Studying literature and martial arts is the same, and after completing it, I feel that I am different from ordinary people.

Those who study literature usually have a bad temper and look down on those who are uneducated, but they are particularly respectful to those who are officials.

Those who learn martial arts are simpler, always thinking that their fists are bigger than others, and they are very unhappy with being officials.
